| validity of candida natalensis van der walt et tscheuschner. | in order to verify whether candida natalensis is a synonym of candida sake or not, we investigated dna base composition, dna-dna hybridization, the electrophoretic patterns of enzymes, and proton magnetic resonance (pmr) spectra of cell wall mannans of representative strains of c. natalensis and c. sake. no significant differences in dna base compositions were found among strains of c. natalensis and c. sake. very low dna relatedness was detected between the type strain of c. natalensis and the ... | 1989 | 2750310 |
| characterization of the fungal microbiome (mycobiome) in fecal samples from dogs. | the prevalence and phylogenetic description of fungal organisms and their role as part of the intestinal ecosystem have not yet been studied extensively in dogs. this study evaluated the fungal microbiome of 19 dogs (12 healthy dogs and 7 dogs with acute diarrhea) using fungal tag-encoded flx-titanium amplicon pyrosequencing. five distinct fungal phyla were identified, with ascomycota (medians: 97.9% of obtained sequences in healthy dogs and 98.2% in diseased dogs) and basidiomycota (median 1.0% ... | 2013 | 23738233 |
| aromatic amino acids as precursors of antimicrobial metabolites in geotrichum candidum. | geotrichum candidum atcc 204307 was previously found to generate phenyllactic acid (pla) and indoleacetic acid (ila) in complex culture media. in this study, a relationship between concentrations of pla, ila, and hydroxy pla (oh-pla) and initial concentrations of phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine, added respectively as unique sources of nitrogen in synthetic medium, was established. phenylpyruvic acid (ppa), an intermediate compound of pla metabolism, was able to induce not only pla but al ... | 2013 | 23590565 |
| reduced growth of listeria monocytogenes in two model cheese microcosms is not associated with individual microbial strains. | two model antilisterial microbial communities consisting of two yeasts, two gram positive and two gram negative bacteria, and originating from livarot cheese smear were previously designed. they were used in the present study to analyse the impact of microbial population dynamics on growth of listeria monocytogenes in cheese microcosm. specific culture media and pcr primers were developed for simultaneous culture-dependent and real-time pcr quantification of strains belonging to marinomonas sp., ... | 2013 | 23122498 |
